THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the Lancaster County
Dental Society Executive Committee, I’d like
to thank Dr. Max Adams for his service as
president over the past year. He, along with
his predecessors, have delicately managed
very sensitive issues as well the routine business of the day providing us with the benefits
of the LCDS Society we have come to expect.
That they brought about these accomplishments while still running their own practices
and families which is most impressive.
Before arriving here I had the pleasure of
serving as a Lieutenant Commander in the
US Navy in Norfolk, Virginia directly from my
residency in prosthodontics at the University
of Pittsburgh. I was originally from Kingston,
PA, however in the decade since relocating
here, Lancaster has most definitely become
my home.
I’m extremely honored to serve as
president of the Lancaster County Dental
Society and look forward to helping maintain
the integrity of the society. It may have been
some time since you last visited the PDA
website, www.padental.org or the ADA website,
www.ada.org. Virtually everything you need on
current legislation, HIPAA, informed consent
and classified advertisements are there. There
is a wealth of information available including:
News releases: To increase the visibility of
the dental profession and help inform the
public, PDA distributes monthly news releases
to more than 450 Pennsylvania publications
(magazines, newspapers, radio and TV
stations) as well as news-related websites.
Sample topics include women’s oral health,
periodontal disease, smokeless tobacco and
caring for baby teeth. I personally love to use
these brief news releases because offering a
link to the ADA or PDA news release is a great
way to quickly update your office’s website,
LinkedIn account or Facebook page.
Insurance Resources: Did you know you can
pick up the telephone and call someone
who used to be the vice-president of United
Concordia to discuss questions about dental
insurance and current legislation?
Placement Services: Whether you are looking
to find a dentist to work one night a week at
your office or if you are looking to sell your
practice, this service is complimentary for
members and very effective.
Recent charitable events promoted through
the PDA: MOM-n-PA
MOM-n-Pa is a 501C-3 non-profit
foundation dedicated to providing free dental
services to underserved Pennsylvanians. Since
2000, more than 100,000 patients have been
served at MOM events, according to America’s
Dentists Care Foundation. Hundreds of
dentists, hygienists, dental team members,
dental students and community volunteers
served approximately 1,800 patients from
underserved areas in the Philadelphia region
at a two-day free dental clinic held at The
Liacouras Center held on May 31st and June
1st. You can learn about the nationwide effort
at: www.adcfmom.org. To learn more about
MOM-n-PA as well, please visit their
homepage at: www.mom-n-pa.com.
Best Regards,
Dr. Michelle Cantwell

Please help me congratulate our own Shannon Bender for winning

patients.

The anthropologist Margaret Mead said “Never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
I see that every day in what the participating dentists
do through the DALCO program.
Dental Access Lancaster County (DALCO), a partnership among Lancaster County Dental Society, local dentists
and Lancaster General Health, provides a "dental home" for
low-income, uninsured patients.
A dental home is a dental practice that provides
ongoing care, including routine cleanings. Patients pay a
small co-pay for each visit based on their income. DALCO's
database includes 142 local dental providers
Though the list continues to grow, it is small in
comparison to the dental needs of the uninsured in this
community. DALCO currently has a 5 month wait list. We are
always looking for more dentists to participate with the
DALCO program. If everyone does a little, no one will feel they
are doing a lot.
The DALCO providers have provided over $520,000
worth of donated dental care. We realize many dentists already
link with local organizations to provide dental care to those in
need; but we are asking you to consider joining DALCO as well.
Signing up to see even one patient WILL make a difference.
If you would like to join this list of extraordinary
community minded professionals or have questions about the
DALCO program, please contact:

ation. Once again,, please think about reserving a spot in your office
for these CTC students who will be coming out in April and May for the
clinical rotation portion of their program. It is an integral part of their
education as it allows them to put actual hands-on experience in a live
situations that they cannot obtain in the classroom. This year we have
made the requirements for clinical more rigid than previous years.
We realize that the offices are being bombarded with requests for your
participation in these externships and the LCCTC wants to make sure
that the students we send to you are quality students that meet or
exceed these new guidelines around attendance, employability traits,
theory grades and clinical skills. Thanks again for your continued
support of the Dental Assisting Program at the CTC!!!

Committed to Children’s Health
St. Joseph Health Ministries is committed to its
mission of improving the health of children in need in Lancaster County.
We achieve this through our clinical programs (Brush.Brush.Smile!®
and Children’s Dental Services of Columbia), our children’s oral health
education, and our advocacy initiatives. Coming this September, we are
pleased to partner with the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American
Academy of Pediatrics to bring the EPIC (Educating Practices/Physicians
in their Communities) Healthy Teeth/Healthy Children (HTHC) program
to Lancaster County.
HTHC recognizes that children are at risk for the development
of early childhood caries, the most common, preventable childhood
disease. Sponsored by St. Joseph Health Ministries, HTHC will provide
a morning-long program with two priority areas of focus: oral health and
obesity to local primary care and pediatric practice medical providers in
order to improve the oral healthcare delivery system, increase access to
dental care for young children and adolescents, and improve oral health
literacy for families. The CME-eligible education program “Oral Health in
Your Office” will focus on implementing oral screening, risk assessment
and fluoride varnish application. Additional in-office education will be
offered to those medical practices interested.
Help up spread the word to our medical health providers about
this valuable education opportunity. Invitations will be sent to medical
practices both electronically and via standard mail directly from AAP. For
additional information, please contact Sean Reynolds, SJHM President/
CEO at 717.239.1183 or [email protected]

Alliance Touches Lives Locally and Internationally
Alliance Enjoys "La Dolce Vita"
The Alliance met for our last meeting of the year
with an Italian flair at Ciro's restaurant. It
was a well attended meeting with good
food, good drink and good friends! We
were celebrating our new members
(welcome Aurora Green!) and also our
past presidents. As as added surprise,
we were joined by our current Pennsylvania
State Alliance President, Jenny Zehner!
She hails from Reinholds and drove down
just to be with us! Jenni came to hand
out some of the many awards that our
Alliance has garnered over the past year
- we collected four Communications
awards for various articles and pictures
published, and a Dental Health Educa- tion Award went to Cherisse Feddock
for our CDHM project. Additionally this
year, Melissa Voler was given the Thelma
J. Neff Distinguished Service Award
for her work as our Treasurer, and
Stephanie Grambau was awarded the
Beulah K. Spencer Service Award for her work as our President. Congratulations all around to our very talented members! It has been a successful and fun year, thanks to our
many volunteers who not only keep Alliance going, but make
it fun to be a part of! See you all next year at our first
meeting (out of four for the whole year!) in September!
Due to the generosity of our HSC donors,
Alliance was able to make a number of
charitable contributions this past year.
In addition to our local contributions, the
Lancaster Alliance supported the victims
of Hurricane Sandy through the Tunnel to
Towers Foundation. The local Lancaster Alliance teamed with
the rest of the Pennsylvania Alliances to all support our close
neighbors who were affected by the storm. One great thing to note
about the Tunnel To Towers foundation is that "100% of the gross
funds are used for those adversely impacted by Sandy".
Check it out at tunneltotowersfoundation.org.

we able to give
locally, but we were

medical mission trip, he was able to bring dental supplies so the medical center could
add dental services
for its patients. Due
to the generosity of
our Lancaster
Dentists, Dr. Piep-

Water Street Health Services (WSHS) recently celebrated
10 years of offering quality dental care to uninsured residents of
Water Street Ministries in Lancaster. WSHS is the only free clinic in
Lancaster City where residents living in poverty with an income too
high to receive public health insurance and yet not enough to buy private health insurance find relief from pain for their medical or dental
concerns. Dental services provided at WSHS include the following:
•
General Exams
•
Sealants
•
Prophylaxis (6-month Care Appointments)
•
Restorations

Perio Treatment (Scaling & Root Planing—3-month Perio Maintenance)

Digital Radiography (X-rays)

Oral Healthcare Education
(For more information about Water Street Ministries,
visit www.wsm.org.)
Each week dozens of clients pour into our clinic looking for
ways to improve their overall health and appearance, which significantly enhances their ability to find employment. The majority of our
dental, medical, and administrative workers are volunteers, so we
greatly depend on the generous support of local practices. We are
constantly looking for volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants,
and lab technicians. If you would like to donate a few hours of your
time to a worthy cause, we’d love to hear from you! Call Tina Nissly,
Dental Administrator, at Water Street Health Services, at
(717) 358-2011 or email [email protected].
Results are in from our successful spring dinner auction
which was held in April. We are grateful to everyone who attended
and contributed to the fundraiser’s positive outcome. We had a
great turnout, and total proceeds exceeded our expectations! Thank
you for your commitment to supporting WSHS and improving the
lives and health of Lancaster County residents.
Please take note that Dr. Lydia Chang has legally changed
her maiden name to her married name. If you hear people speak about
Dr. Baird, rest assured that we have not replaced our staff dentist.
Dr. Lydia Baird continues to share her skills with us as a part-time
staff dentist at WSHS.
We currently have supplies of donated items that complement procedures which are not currently performed at WSHS. If
you would be interested in hearing which supplies we have to barter
for supplies we still need such as composite materials, anesthesia,
nitrile gloves, extra-protective ear-loop masks, Fixodent kits, or
adult toothbrushes, please call Tina at (717) 358-2011.
Blessings,
Tina Nissly, Dental Administrator, WSHS

significant ties to the northwest portion of Haiti and the small mission hospital, Beraca Medica Center,
located in La Pointe.
In the past there has been sporadic dental coverage from the U.S. for just several weeks, one week at
a time. Most of the treatment has consisted of exodontia and minor oral surgery. There now is a full-time
dentist, Sergeline Baptiste, for one year. There is a significant need for instruments and equipment since
she will be also doing restorative and prosthetic dentistry.
Dr. Piepgrass has requested any donations of instruments or equipment that may be available from
our society members. We have received a list of the needs as compiled by Dr. Baptiste:

Dr. Piepgrass is taking a medical team of 5 or 6 people to Haiti from March 15 – 22 and could take
some supplies with him at that time. Also we will see that any donations over the next months will be sent to
the hospital in La Pointe, Haiti.
